About Portuguese names
Portuguese given names mostly come from Latin, Germanic and Christian roots, and many families honour a saint or a relative. It is common to have two given names, and people carry surnames from both parents, so a full name can be long.
The same name is often pronounced differently in Portugal and in Brazil. If your child will grow up in an English-speaking country, say the name aloud with your surname to check it is easy for others to say and spell.
